LVT shrinking

Discussion in 'Vinyl / Impervious floor coverings' started by Michael Le Turgeon, Jul 12, 2020.

  1. hi guys, we fitted amtico form on jumpax 2 years ago on jumpax as the client was requesting soundproofing in his flat. I've just been contacted to say the Amtico has started to open up in front off his bi fold windows. it was all fitted on HT glue wet with plenty of expansion on the jumpax. anybody come across this before/ have solution on how to resolve this?
    Im thinking that jumpax wasn't the best idea but with its soundproofing qualities felt like it was the best option at the time?
    TIA

    If it was Amtico’s own it’s terrible

    As it’s at the bi fold doors it could be some moisture getting into the jumpax which will rot it.

    Ke66 isn’t recommended for direct solar gain anymore....unsure why you’d use it in a ht area with sunlight if it’s not deemed recommended anymore, f48 is amtico the is f ball.

  14. Going forward then what you recommend for direct solar gain?
     
  15. I’ve just been to look at it and it was actually HT extra (pink glue)
